"What's wrong?" Old Lady Shen asked.

"Grandmother, wait for me in the carriage." Shen Nianzhen said: "I'll go buy a few pieces of Poria cake and come back and taste the taste that my mother liked back then." ”

Old Mrs. Shen saw it and hurriedly said, "Don't go, ask the maid to buy it!" ”

However, Shen Nianzhen had already gotten out of the carriage with his hands and feet, turned around and handed her a reassuring look, waved his hand with a smile, and turned around and led the picturesque towards the pastry shop.

"This kid ......" Mrs. Shen said helplessly: "She is also like her mother's ......."

On the side, Mama Zhou responded with a smile: "Old lady, you are a little harsh, although the eldest lady is married, she is actually not fifteen years old, it is the time of innocence, and it is also a good thing to like to go out for a walk, you, don't detain her." ”

Is she too restrained Shen Nianzhen? Old Mrs. Shen was thoughtful when she heard this.

In the pastry shop, Shen Nianzhen led Ruhua to select several freshly made pastries, and when he turned around, he suddenly heard someone in the shop selling calligraphy and painting next door shouting loudly over there to sell some calligraphy and paintings, and the voice of one of them sounded a little familiar.

Shen Nianzhen turned his head curiously to look.

At this look, she found out that she had met an old acquaintance, the person who had a dispute with the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop, was actually Lu Yiming.

After the fall of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and the tragic death of the Zhenbei Hou in prison, Lu Yiming also fell seriously ill and did not appear in front of people for a long time, but today he appeared.

He was dressed in an indigo coarse cloth robe, his hair was neatly combed, and his fair and handsome face was still outstanding.

Even though he has experienced so many blows, it has not damaged his handsomeness.

Such a scumbag, up to now, there is only this one face left, so that Shen Nianci willingly raises him like a son, right? What are you doing here today?

A sneer appeared on the corner of Shen Nianzhen's mouth, and he quietly pulled Ruhua to stand aside, listening to him talk to the shopkeeper.

I only heard Lu Yiming say indignantly: "Boss Zhao, take a look again!" I have this painting in my hand, but the painting is exquisite! There are few paintings like this in the world! And ah, there is a secret to my painting......"

"What's the secret?"

The owner of the painting shop was obviously more interested in secrets than in paintings, and asked with great interest.

Lu Yiming leaned closer to him, lowered his voice and said: "This is painted by a young lady who is waiting for the word boudoir, in the future, this young lady will fly on the branch as a phoenix!" If you buy this painting, the price will definitely increase several times in the future, and you may be rushed to buy it! ”

"Who the hell are you talking about?" The owner of the painting shop asked curiously: "What is the flying method of flying on the branches?" Since she is a young lady, I'm afraid that the average wealthy family can't look down on it, right? Could it be some concubine who married into the palace? ”

"Wrong, wrong, it's not a concubine's painting." Lu Yiming was anxious, and denied again and again: "Which of the emperor's women dares to collect her ink treasures?" Let's tell you the truth! This painting is a painting of a certain prince and concubine in the future! Just watch the bid! At least...... Get at least five hundred taels of silver! ”

"Five hundred taels?"

When the owner of the painting shop heard this, his eyes widened, and his voice raised: "Five hundred taels, I will buy your painting that even the painter does not dare to say?" Is it to buy it and eat it? Or buy it back and offer it to your ancestors? You can sell it elsewhere! I don't dare ask for this painting! ”

"Don't!" Lu Yiming was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Boss Zhao! Take a closer look! If this painting is not worth five hundred taels of silver, my Lu Yiming's name will be written upside down! In the past, I used to take care of your business, but now that I'm down, you can help me! ”

"Master Lu, you also know this time and that time! I'll tell you the truth! Your painting, there are obviously a few wrong strokes, it is obvious that the painter painted a discarded manuscript, not a genuine print, you have to ask me to accept it, it's not impossible, for the sake of your Lu Gongzi who took care of my business in the past, I will give you five taels of silver! Couldn't have more! ”

"Five taels?" When Lu Yiming heard this, his face immediately changed, he didn't say a word at the moment, took his words from the shopkeeper's hand, turned around and walked away without looking back: "Then I won't sell it!" ”

"Hey! Don't worry! When the owner of the painting shop saw him go, he was a little dumbfounded.

was about to chase after him, but he saw Lu Yiming stop stiffly, and the owner of the painting shop followed up and said: "Forget it, I will pay twenty taels for your painting, you sell it to me!" Couldn't have more! ”

The words fell, but he saw that Lu Yiming did not react, and just looked ahead blankly.

The owner of the painting shop slowly raised his head according to his gaze, and at a glance saw Shen Nianzhen standing on the steps in the azure blue color, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

What a beautiful girl!

Beautiful as the fairy in the painting, he has been doing business on this street for decades, but he has never seen such a beautiful woman! Who is she?

Lu Yiming looked at Shen Nianzhen, with a hint of horror in his eyes.

No way? He's so unlucky! It's just selling a painting, and I actually ran into the owner......

Shen Nianzhen stepped forward slowly, took the painting from Lu Yiming's hand, slowly unfolded it and glanced at it, a touch of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The prince of the Houfu Mansion in Zhenbei, who was once high, also started to steal chickens and dogs for a living, how did you get this painting?" If you don't tell the truth, then let's go to the official! ”

After speaking, he looked back at Ruhua: "You go and call Laifu to report to the official." ”

"Don't!" Lu Yiming's face turned frightened when he heard this, and without waiting for Shen Nianzhen to say anything, he knelt down with a thud, and his originally fair face was colorful, and it took a while before he reluctantly spoke: "This painting...... Yes, it was Nian Ci who stole it from the Grand Commander's Mansion. ”

After speaking, he closed his eyes tightly and trembled.

"The second sister stole it?" Shen Nianzhen was taken aback when he heard this: "The Great Commander's Mansion has long since stopped you from entering, how did you steal it?" ”

"That's ......" Lu Yiming gritted his teeth, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "It's the ...... that you stole when you entered the Great Commander's Mansion in the half month you weren't in the mansion."

She's not in the house?

Yes, she had stayed in the suburbs for more than half a month in order to find her eldest brother.

Shen Nianci actually took advantage of the days when she was not in the mansion to sneak in and steal things? The golden hairpin that Shen Nianzhu put on the coffee table yesterday is gone, is it also what they stole it?

Between the lightning and flint, Shen Nianzhen suddenly understood, and his face sank instantly.

glared at Lu Yiming angrily, she had another layer of disgust in her heart for facing him, and she was too lazy to talk nonsense with him at the moment, and directly ordered the little servant to tie up Lu Yiming's whole son, and escort him back to the Great Commander's Mansion to prepare for careful interrogation.

The owner of the painting shop didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, things would become like this, seeing that Lu Yiming didn't dare to say a word even if he was tied up by the five flowers, he turned around and retracted back into his shop in fright, and didn't dare to look out again.

I thought silently in my heart; It's horrible! It's horrible! The more beautiful the woman, the more fierce she is! Although his lady is about to catch up with him, she has a gentle personality, and she is a good woman and a good lady. In the future, he will definitely stop paying attention to his mother and treat his mother sincerely.

Shen Nianzhen didn't know that she had inadvertently made a man change his ways, and after tying up Lu Yiming, she carried the pastries back to the carriage, and when Mrs. Shen saw her come back with a painting, she immediately asked in surprise: "Nianzhen, why did you tie Lu Yiming back?"

"I'm going to take him back for interrogation." Shen Nianzhen said in a deep voice: "Grandmother, it's not appropriate to talk outside, let's talk about everything when we go home!" ”

"It's fine." Old Lady Shen nodded.

She lifted the curtain slightly and glanced out, frowned, and said, "There are people coming and going on this street, and you tie someone up to follow our carriage, which is too eye-catching." ”

Shen Nianzhen didn't think of this layer just now, and after thinking about it carefully, he ordered Laifu and another little guy to lead Lu Yiming back to the house, while she and the old lady took the carriage back to the house first.

In the carriage, Shen Nianzhen told the old lady about the theft of the golden hairpin, and said: "I suspect that there are still people with the second aunt in our house, a group of people who eat inside and outside, whether they can't tell who the master is, this time when I go back, we must find out." ”

Old Madam Shen was taken aback when she heard this: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" That's the hairpin that His Royal Highness the Second Prince gave you! If you lose it, I'm afraid Your Highness will blame you! ”

"Grandmother, isn't this busy with the eldest brother's family affairs?"

Shen Nianzhen apologized with a smile: "It's not too late to check when I go back." ”

Mrs. Shen thought the same, but she was still not very happy when she thought of it, so she immediately said: "Okay, go back and interrogate well, this time I will fight to change all the people in the house, and I will also get out all the things that are eaten inside and out!" ”

Shen Nianzhen nodded when he heard this: "Grandmother, with your words, my granddaughter will dare to let go and investigate." ”

"Check, check." Old Lady Shen held her hand and sighed, then stopped talking for a long time, and finally didn't say anything.

Mama Zhou's eyes flashed on the side, she looked at Shen Nianzhen, and then at Mrs. Shen, but finally didn't say anything.

Soon, the Grand Commander's Mansion arrived.

Shen Nianzhen personally helped Mrs. Shen get out of the carriage, and was about to enter the mansion when he heard the sound of horses' hooves running outside, and soon, the group stopped in front of the door on horseback, it was Shen Yunlan, and there was a person tied to the horse behind him, but it was Lu Yiming.

"Big brother!" Shen Nianzhen was very surprised to see him: "Why did you come back?" ”

"I was drinking with a few colleagues, and I saw someone in our house holding this guy, and I stepped forward to ask, only to know that this guy had done so many things behind his back."

Shen Yunlan grinned at her, showing a mouthful of big white teeth, and turned around and ordered the little servant to escort Lu Yiming into the mansion.

Shen Nianzhen only discovered at this time that Lu Yiming's fair and handsome face had become blue and swollen at this time, and it was obvious that he had been beaten.

"Big brother, did you beat him?" Shen Nianzhen asked as he entered the mansion.

Shen Yunlan snorted, glanced back at Lu Yiming, and then said, "This kind of shameless despicable villain, scumbag, I see him beaten once and again!" ”

When Lu Yiming heard this, he involuntarily shrunk his neck, looked down at his toes, and didn't know what he was thinking.

To this day, I don't know if he regrets treating others like that in the first place?

Probably not, right?

If you regret it, it's not Lu Yiming.

Shen Nian was really thoughtful.

The family entered the house, drank tea, and took a little rest, and then asked Lu Yiming to be escorted up.

"You recruit now, what the hell is going on."

Lu Yiming had obviously already thought of his words, and when he heard this, he replied directly: "The painting was stolen by Shen Nianci, I just helped take it out and sell it, it's none of my business." ”

"It's none of your business? Then when you sell paintings, why do you want to have connotations in and out of your words? Obviously borrowing my reputation to loot money! Shen Nianzhen snorted coldly and said unceremoniously: "If you still refuse to confess, I have no choice but to ignore the face of my relatives and send you directly to the official!" ”

Lu Yiming was obviously very afraid of the matter of seeing officials, which may have been the shadow left by the death of the Marquis of Zhenbei in the prison.

Hearing Shen Nianzhen's words, he immediately shouted, "It's really none of my business!" It was Shen Nianci who taught me to say this! She said that the owners of the art shops were very interested in the paintings made by the lady of the boudoir, and that a painting could give as much as a few hundred taels of silver! It was also because of this that when she made a fuss in the Grand Commander's Mansion, she took advantage of the chaos to steal some of the eldest lady's daily homework......"

"Making a fuss at the Commander's Palace? Take advantage of the chaos? Shen Nianzhen looked puzzled when he heard this: "What the hell is going on?" ”

She looked back at Old Lady Shen and at Mama Zhou.

Each one was silent.

Shen Yunlan also asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Lu Yiming said to Shen Nianzhen: "You don't know? Even when you disappeared, everyone in the house hid it from the old lady, and Shen Nianci specially entered the mansion because she resented the old lady's partiality, and told the old lady about it...... Later, there was chaos in the house, and the old lady was seriously ill......"

I see!

No wonder when she first came back, she felt that the old lady was so haggard and her body was also very weak, Shen Nian really thought that it was because the old lady was too worried about her and her eldest brother, as long as they came back, they could get better if they persuaded the old lady to eat too much food, in fact, the old lady was indeed getting better.

But I didn't expect that those haggards and those aging were all because of this!

Shen Nianzhen's face changed suddenly.

It became gloomy and terrifying.

"It's true." Old Mrs. Shen held her hand and persuaded: "Forget it, Nianci's child is out of tune, I'm fine, don't worry about it anymore, listen to grandmother, okay?" ”

Shen Nianzhen slowly turned his head to look at her, then nodded slowly and said, "Okay." ”

Old Mrs. Shen immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and her kind face showed a hint of relief: "I'm old, I don't want to see this scene of fighting and killing, I just want to have a happy family." ”

Shen Nianzhen wanted to cry instantly.

And I couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Don't cry, good boy, grandmother is fine, always there." Mrs. Shen hurriedly took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped away her tears.

Shen Nianzhen cried silently for a while, and then gradually calmed down.

She didn't look at Lu Yiming again, not at all.

The matter of interrogation can only be done by Shen Yunlan.

Shen Yunlan was also very annoyed, he didn't expect that during his absence, someone would actually attack his grandmother who loved him the most! That person is still a fellow sister Shen Nianci! From this moment on, Shen Nianci was no longer a member of the Shen family.

It's a pity that Lu Yiming is very single, he pushed everything on Shen Nianci, and he didn't admit anything, and if he asked again, he was persecuted.

It was Shen Nianci who forced him to sell paintings.

"Fart! Who is Shen Nianci stealing and selling paintings for? Isn't it still your family's old snack drinking Lazar? What did she do with so much silver alone? Shen Yunlan is not easy to fool: "Maybe your family bewitched her to do this!" Do you want to put the blame on her alone, and you guys will clean it up yourself? Don't! ”

Lu Yiming raised his eyelids to glance at him when he heard this, but didn't say anything.

This is equivalent to admitting it.

Shen Yunlan was angry enough, and laughed angrily at the moment: "Do you think that if you push everything on the second sister, we won't do anything to you?" What an underestimate! Let's tell you the truth! As early as on the way back from escorting you, I have already sent someone to invite the second sister...... She'll be here soon, and I'll see how you two pass the buck! ”

"I'll tell you the truth." Lu Yiming said lazily when he heard this: "Nianci got a golden hairpin today, and went out to the gold shop early in the morning, people are not at home, you go to find it at home, and you can only rush to the empty ......"

"Hairpin!" Shen Nianzhen's face immediately changed.

Shen Nianzhu, who had been silently watching from the wall, was also taken aback, and looked at Lu Yiming in disbelief.

"It turns out that the golden hairpin was really stolen by the second sister?"

Lu Yiming saw the two of them stunned, and raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter, it's just a hairpin, no one in your house will wear that style, so it's a charity......"

"Someone wearing it? Do you know that the hairpin was given to the eldest lady by His Royal Highness the Second Highness! Mama Zhou said on the side: "If His Royal Highness knows about it, I will have to abolish one of your legs!" ”

Lu Yiming didn't know that this was the case, and he was also taken aback when he heard this, his mouth opened in a daze, and he couldn't speak anymore.

Oh no, this time, they really kicked the iron plate.

"Grandmother, sister, in my opinion, this guy and Shen Nianci are habitual offenders, and I don't know how many things I stole from the Grand Commander's Mansion." Shen Yunlan glanced at Lu Yiming coldly, and said in a deep voice: "You and your grandmother have sent someone back to check to see if there is anything missing, and in addition, the people in the house should also check, and this matter will be left to Mama Zhou." ”

"Yes, young master." Mama Zhou immediately responded.

"Now, I will go out in person and bring Shen Nianci back." Shen Yunlan said in a deep voice: "Be sure to get the hairpin in her hand back!" ”
